And oh, his eyes. His eyes, blazing bright with triumph, with satisfaction, and with... relief.

It's Orctober, and I almost forgot! But what better time to paint these three? My OT3 Drafli, Baldr, and Alma, from @finleyfenn's The Maid and the Orcs.

I am new to rumbelle haha but may I ask what are your favorite rumbelle fics? Thanks :)

I love your rumbelle and belle art btw (and your amazing whouffaldi art of course!). Thank you for sharing them 💜

Thank you <3! You’re always so kind! Of course! Admittedly, it’s a bit hard to recollect some of them because I read so many before I had a tumblr. However, over this past winter, I started to track down Rumbelle works I had loved so here are some I've rediscovered :) I hope that this small list can point you in a helpful direction.

A rumbelle fic that has stayed with me since I read it in the summer of 2013, and that I can state is one of my fav fanfics ever is A Bed of Thorns by Nym. I adore this fic and it's one whose writing and imagery has lived in my head since I first read it. I've included the link for the Archived version, but the author is actually rewriting it (here)! I haven't had the opportunity to read it yet but I'm so excited to be able to return to it! And honestly, all of Nym's fanfic is so good.

Another writer I recommend is @suchadearie! I've loved every fanfic of theirs that I've read, and, through the years, I always found myself thinking about Trading for Touch and Hell Bent. I also recommend @rufeepeach's work (here). I'm still re-introducing myself to rumbelle fanfic, and I know that there are so many wonderful writers that I’ve failed to mention, but I hope this is in some way helpful!

Some of the best fanfic I have ever read have come from this fandom -- there's such dedication, talent, and passion for rumbelle that it really is such a pleasure to read fanfic and see fanart for this ship. I'm sure you'll enjoy what you find! And if anyone would like to recommend fics/plug their own work please feel free to add to this post! I'd love to get some recs :)!

Happy Reading!

My TEAs rec list

This took me a solid 5 hours to complete so I am sharing here my nominations as a rec list. I KNOW I am forgetting someone. It is impossible to come up with a list that truly represent and makes justice to all the amazing writers and artists of the fandom. Also, I know several of these people/works are already nominated but I didn’t want that to stop me from acknowledging them on my own blog. Your are all amazing!:

Here are my TEA recommendations. The list is still under construction - I’ll be adding to it for a bit until it’s time to make a final nominations list. I just thought sharing it early would be helpful to others who are struggling through their likes, tags and bookmarks right now. 

If you are on this list and don’t want to be, shoot me a message.

My own stuff isn’t on here at all, because I don’t believe in nominating/voting for your own work as artist/author (it’s fine, but makes me uncomfortable personally). If you are looking for my humble plea for nominations - my TEA Promo Post is here.

“No falsehoods, woman,” that voice insisted, velvety, desperately thrilling. “Shall I be this orc, for you? Shall I frighten you, and take what I wish from you?”

I've been listening to @finleyfenn 's The Librarian and the Orc while trying out CSP for the first time. This was my… fourth? fifth? reread? First time listening to the audio book read by Shane East, which made it even more intense. Gawd I love this book.

[suchadearie]

I had to redo it from scratch because I wasn't happy with the other one, but I think now it's perfect :D
